Kanye West has long been one of the entertainment industry's most polarizing figures, but his recent actions including anti-Semitic comments and white supremacist messaging have alienated fans and business partners alike.
Kanye West has long been one of the entertainment industry’s most polarizing figures, but his recent actions including anti-Semitic comments and white supremacist messaging have alienated fans and business partners alike.
The 45-year-old West, who in the past has unironically compared himself to Michelangelo, broke out in 2004 with “The College Dropout,” building a masterful music career that saw him imbue rap with soul and electronic elements to create his lush albums.At times his comments garnered him praise for his honesty: in 2005, he called out George W.
The American Jewish Committee hit out at West for having “fomented hatred of Jews,” while many other celebrities decried his words and urged him to stop. This week, a producer behind the series “The Shop: Uninterrupted” with NBA superstar LeBron James said they were pulling an episode that would have featured West, saying he used the platform to “reiterate more hate speech and extremely dangerous stereotypes.”
Earlier this year West was banned from posting on Instagram for 24 hours after violating the social network’s harassment policy amid his acrimonious divorce from reality star Kim Kardashian, with whom he has four children.
